I just get this visual of anti-aircraft emplacements, searchlights, barrage balloons, etc. and gunners like in London and Berlin in WWII, only with badges...
Comforting thought, ain't it? You know what's more comforting? Rudy Giuliani in control of an AAA battery.
No worries. Those guns would throw way to the right. :)
